Elizabeth writes with grace and compassion to lead us to heart-centred communication and collaboration. She has taken a holistic and gentle approach to a complex and layered challenge. This book has many golden nuggets of wisdom.

Elizabeth's Seven Layers of Listening has inspired me to become aware of how I show up, connect and relate. As I listen more to my heart and to the natural world by following my intuition, my listening capacity grows. I recommend Elizabeth's book to truly understand and start collaborating!

What a fantastic book! The author's thesis completely resonates with my own belief system: a deeply felt knowledge of our interconnection with each other and all living things is the key to facing the challenges we face individually, in relationships, communities, workplaces and the world. What is really exciting about this book is how Soltis brings her thesis alive with practical activities. I will definitely be using this book to take my work to the next level!

Since reading this book, I have spent more reflective time in nature. Life is part of an interdependent web. Elizabeth's book is relevant to what is happening in the world today. She provides insightful direction for those who want to become positive change-makers.

This book introduces a much needed change in the way we relate to each other, especially in the areas of equality, mutual respect and heart sharing. Heart sharing is the most important key for me, because it has been forever unacknowledged and seldom given the recognition it truly deserves.

This book is truly essential for anyone seeking to transform their relationships. Prior to reading it, I hadn't contemplated my connection with Earth as a dynamic, sentient entity. This book illuminates the significance of bonding with nature as a means to enrich not only self-discovery but also interpersonal connections. Its insights reveal the interplay between self, nature, and others.

As an international consultant, I realize that relationships matter in this world. To be effective, the quality of my relationships with my clients must be authentic and heart-centred. This book enables me to ask different questions, listen more deeply, speak courageously, and resolve conflict with greater skill.

Given the complexity of the global challenges we face, I believe adopting Elizabeth’s holistic, integrative approach to effective collaboration will help us respond to each other in a way that honours empathy, active listening, mindful communication, and connection. We need to co-create mutual understanding.
